For now. Since we are now suspecting an owl, the chickens have been locked up and will remain so until the Snowys go back to where they came from.Is your dog off the hook?

Actually, I'm glad to hear it since the other option was my dog... (I didn't think so, but DH was convinced it was him)Hate to do it but I have to second the bird of prey theory for your latest chicken death. The puncture wound on your rooster is very likely from the back hallux of a bird of prey. Often when attacking raptors go for the head to control their prey. The crime scene also sounds very typical of a bird of prey. I am sorry for your loss.
I once had a Campine rooster put it's spur into another rooster's head, killed the other rooster almost immediately.Hate to do it but I have to second the bird of prey theory for your latest chicken death.
